Another site!

I just discovered another temple update blog.  Go to brighamcityldstemple.blogspot.com.  He (Brian Rex) has some arial pictures that are really cool.  It's fun to compare the tabernacle footprint and the temple footprint as well as the placements on their lots from the air!  His blog looks so good that I might just turn it all over to him.  Anyway, I forgot to get a picture last weekend, so I'll post one next week.

Work on the North side...

It looks like the NE corner of the temple has caught up with the others.




 The picture below was taken from the SW corner.
 There's the tabernacle (below) still patiently keeping watch!
 Below is the action taking place on the N side of the building. 
Lots going on there!  The construction fence has been bumped out
one lane into 200 S so there's only one eastbound lane.

4th Corner Going In!

The picture below was taken from the construction entrance,
looking east.  It's the NE corner or the temple.
 Below is a picture of the last corner of the temple going in.

 Below is a shot looking to the NW.  Lots of rebar!

  The picture below was taken from the SW Tabernacle lawn.
Yesterday tied a record for the highest temperature for the date (58). 
 It felt like spring and I'll bet the construction guys loved it!

A step closer...

We've had pretty cold temps this week, but no snow.  Can't you see the progress?
I took the 3 shots below from the construction entrance on the NW corner of the site.


 I took the three below from Farmers Corner across the street to the South.


 Looking North...



Someone in church today mentioned that they think it's appropriate 
the temple sits on the spot where his school sat.  It was a step-by-step
place of learning what he would need to know in future years. 
And the temple is the same...Nice thought.

BTW, if you're from Brigham, you might be interested to know that
Lincoln School is now only a pile of rubble and lots of memories. 
It's kind of sad for all the Lincoln Lions out there.
